VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE Webzine (Ger) A rather unimpressive looking product on the surface, but rest assured that this split will grab you by the throat and drag you to the underworld. The NECROS side of the split is steeped in INCANTATION and DEAD CONGREGATION riffing, and all the hellish acoutrements one might expect of that style. On the B-side is ABNORM, a more Black Metal oriented sounding band, but one that has no less forcefulness than NECROS. ABNORM operate on the thrashier side of Death Metal, with faster tempos and considerably tighter drumming. Unfortunately, the production values are not as deep and cavernous as the NECROS tracks, so the songs, though good, are a little subdued. Great stuff all things considered.
